//
//      Functions related to accessing channels and views in multi-view
//      OpenEXR files.
//
//      A multi-view image file contains two or more views of the same
//      scene, as seen from different viewpoints, for example, a left-eye
//      and a right-eye view for stereo displays.  Each view has its own
//      set of image channels.  A naming convention identifies the channels
//      that belong to a given view.
//
//      A "multiView" attribute in the file header lists the names of the
//      views in an image (see ImfStandardAttributes.h), and channel names
//      of the form
//
//              layer.view.channel
//
//      allow channels to be matched with views.
//
//      For compatibility with singe-view images, the first view listed in
//      the multiView attribute is the "default view", and channels that
//      have no periods in their names are considered part of the default
//      view.
//
//      For example, if a file's multiView attribute lists the views
//      "left" and "right", in that order, then "left" is the default
//      view.  Channels
//
//              "R", "left.Z", "diffuse.left.R"
//
//      are part of the "left" view; channels
//
//              "right.R", "right.Z", "diffuse.right.R"
//
//      are part of the "right" view; and channels
//
//              "tmp.R", "right.diffuse.R", "diffuse.tmp.R"
//
//      belong to no view at all.
